As a result of our contact In Hong Kong of a URANTIA Book reader, Saadi Lau visited Oklahoma for several days the middle of July, 1987.

Our annual meeting was held in Los Angeles July 24-26, 1981~and on July 27th, Jean Ann Whiteman and I went to Boston and visited there. On Friday the 31st, we picked up Neil Francey from Australia and attended the General Conference in Maine. This Conference had a greater International attendance than we have ever had and it is my personal opinion this resulted from the personal contacts many of us have had over the last year to two in other countries. Many felt they would know someone, or several, and not be total strangers..

Neil Francey came home with me and spent several days, then William Wentworth, also from Australia spent 10 days in Oklahoma with us. Colin Cooper from South Africa spent 5 days. Both Colin and Will attending our Jesus' Birthday Celebration. It was wonderful having them.

Many of us are planning to attend the South Pacific Regional meeting (second International Conference) in Sydney, Australia, October 10-14, 1988. We would encourage everyone who possibly can to attend.

Our Committee approved letters and forms for International Field Representatives to be sent out. These were also approved by the Executive Committee and have gone out to all International Brotherhood members. We are beginning to receive "recommendations" but some of the individuals being recommended are not yet members. It is too early to make anything like a report for recommendation for approval by the Executive Committee at this time.

Labels have been ordered for approximately 6,000 muti-lingual university libraries (both for French and English Books); the letters and forms have been printed and all should be in the mail in June. The Foundation is generously furnishing Books and the Brotherhood office has volunteered to use their new equipment to mail them for us. Thanks very much to both of you. We are very excited about the prospects of getting the Book in more and more libraries all over the world. Acceptance on the last mailing several years ago, was over 5 percent. Thanks to all the personnel at headquarters as well as each person that contributed so much this year to help make our Brotherhood truly International. I appreciate the opportunity to serve.
